Guest LilBambi Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Apple's "Handoff" -- one of the key new features of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite -- will work only on newer Macs that support Bluetooth 4.0 and the Bluetooth LE (low energy) technology, according to an Apple engineering manager. While Apple didn't mention Handoff requirements when it unveiled the feature at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) earlier this month, a developer-only session there made it clear that Bluetooth LE is necessary.

ross549 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Otherwise a significant hit on battery life with the older iOS devices, for sure. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ugly. They have redesigned the dock, replacing the stunning icons with what looks like Windows Metro Icons. Unbelievable. The basic 1995 look is coming back to Apple too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Yeah. Sad. I'll get used to it, but like the ones on Microsoft's OSes, I won't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you compare Snow Leopard to Mavericks, they are pretty different. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
